Deathcore bands you DO like...

All shall perish is the only deathcore band i can stand. However, Winds of plague may be the funniest thing i've ever heared

Alright so even though i dont like Suicide Silence, (i really dont); last night they put on a better show and had better sound than Machine Head, just wanted to throw that out there; giving them props for having good stage sound / presence.

There's a couple of tracks on the most recent The Acacia Strain album that I think are really good, not feeling how most songs start off with tritone breakdowns though.

Wait. The Acacia Strain starts off songs with tritone breakdowns? GTFO!

I saw The Acacia Strain in Boston earlier this year. Holy fuck. I'm not necessarily a fan of hardcore, but those boys threw it down, for real. Especially in a hometown venue.

I saw them last year, really didn't enjoy it. I hate how they just mushed up parts of songs they wanted to play live and didn't get through more than 2 riffs of any one song

What really sucks about them now is that they have one guitarist, where as they used to have 3. Live, at this point for them, is really hollow and lacks a lot of other sounds to cut through the mix, but everyone knows their earlier albums have a shitload of tracking.

It's kind of a shame, because nowadays I refuse to give music like The Acacia Strain a chance, but a while back I thought they were one of the heaviest things ever. Can't say I even spin them in my CD player anymore. It's been years.

Ion Dissonance
Black Dahlia Murder, mainly because they are great live.

One of my pet peeves is people branding Ion Dissonance as Deathcore!

They are Mathcore!

Hahaha, my apologies. Strike that from the record, then. And after reading some of the previous entries in the thread, it doesn't seem like people like BDM being in that category either. Which means I don't like any deathcore.

No worries

Call me stupid, but what is a Tritone breakdown?

Two notes together, one of them being the root note with a raised fifth over it, giving it an 'ugly' and dissonant sound

It's used as an interval in proper music, but deathcore bands tend to rely on it to write entire riffs because it sounds 'br00taLz'.

 

[Adam Of Angels]

Aye, yeah, I got you - never heard it called a Tritone before. Nile uses them well at times... that is, when audible

I love that band. And I love tritone breakdowns.
